ABSTRACT

Eosinophils are important immune cells that contain eosinophilic particles and play a key role in allergic diseases such as asthma and helminth infections. An increasing number of studies have confirmed that eosinophils infiltrate a variety of tumor tissues, which can synthesize and secrete a large number of bioactive substances under certain circumstances, such as cytotoxic cationic proteins, cytokines, growth factors, chemokines, enzymes and so on, which may affect angiogenesis and matrix remodeling or change the tumor microenvironment, thereby affecting tumor progression. This review focused on the role of eosinophils in lung cancer and provided an outlook on the issues in clinical and basic research.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objective: To establish the detrusor overactivity (DO) model induced by visceral hypersensitivity (VH) and investigate the relationship between mast cell (MC) infiltration and DO. Materials and Methods: Sixty rats are divided into 4 groups randomly: Group 1:Baseline group; Group 2: DO group; Group 3: CON group; Group 4: VH group. The colorectal distension (CRD) and abdominal withdral reflex (AWR) scores are performed to evaluate VH. The cystometric investigation and histological test of MC infiltration are assessed. Results: The threshold pressure of CRD in the VH group is significantly lower than that in the CON group (P<0.001). At the distension pressure ≥20 mmHg, the AWR scores of the VH group are significantly higher than those of the CON group (10 mmHg: P=0.33; 20 mmHg: P=0.028; 40 mmHg: P<0.001; 60 mmHg: P<0.001; 80 mmHg: P<0.001). DO model is successfully established in the VH group (DO rate=100%). Compared with the CON group, the numbers of MC infiltration are significantly increased in the VH group, including submucosa of bladder (P<0.001), mucosa lamina propria/mesentery of small intestine (P<0.001), and mucosa lamina propria/mesentery of large intestine (P<0.001). Furthermore, more MC activation as well as degranulation are observed in the VH group. Conclusions: It is indicated that DO model can be established in the VH rats. The MC infiltration may play an important role in DO induced by VH, and may be helpful to understand the mechanisms of DO in VH patients.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES: We established a Wistar rat model of asthma caused by toluene diisocyanate (TDI) exposure, and investigated the relationship between TDI exposure concentrations and respiratory hypersensitivity, airway inflammation, and cytokine secretions in animals, to better understand the mechanism of TDI induced occupational asthma. METHODS: Wistar rats were exposed to two different concentrations of TDI vapor four hours a day for five consecutive days. Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) was performed, and differential leucocytes from the BAL fluid were analyzed. Lung histopathological examination was carried out to investigate the inflammatory status in the airways. Production of cytokines interleukin (IL)-4 and IL-5 productions in the BAL fluid in vivo was determined with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kits. RESULTS: The TDI-exposed rats exhibited greater airway hypersensitivity symptoms than the control rats. The BAL differential cell count and lung histopathological examination demonstrated that inflammation reactions were present in both the central and peripheral airways, characterized with marked infiltration of eosinophils in the TDI-exposed rats. The cytokine assay showed that IL-4 and IL-5 were predominantly produced in the BAL fluid in vivo. CONCLUSIONS: These findings imply that TDI exposure concentrations may greatly affect the occurrence and extent of inflammatory events and that Th2 type cytokines may play an important role in the immunopathogenesis of TDI-induced occupational respiratory hypersensitivity.

ABSTRACT

The increasing use of nanotechnologies in advanced therapies has allowed the observation of specific adverse reactions related to nanostructures. The toxicity of a novel liposome formulation of meglumine antimoniate in dogs with visceral leishmaniasis after single dose has been investigated. Groups of 12 animals received by the intravenous route a single dose of liposomal meglumine antimoniate (group I [GI], 6.5 mg Sb/kg), empty liposomes (GII) or isotonic saline (GIII). Evaluation of hematological and biochemical parameters showed no significant changes 4 days after administration. No undesired effects were registered in the GIII. However, adverse reactions were observed in 67.7% of dogs from both groups that received liposomal formulations. The side effects began moments after bolus administration and disappeared during the first 15 minutes after treatment. Prostation, sialorrhea and defecation were the most frequent clinical signs, registered in 33.3% and 41.6 % of animals from the groups GI and GII, respectively. Tachypnea, mydriasis, miosis, vomiting and cyanosis were also registered in both groups. The adverse reactions observed in this study were attributed to the activation of the complement system by lipid vesicles in a phenomenon known as Complement Activation-Related Pseudoallergy (CARPA). The influence of the physical-chemical characteristics of liposomal formulation in the triggering of CARPA is discussed.


O crescente uso das nanotecnologias nas terapias avançadas tem permitido a observação de reações adversas específicas relacionadas às nanoestruturas. A toxicidade de uma nova formulação lipossomal de antimoniato de meglumina após dose única foi avaliada em cães com leishmaniose visceral. Grupos de 12 animais receberam por via intravenosa uma dose única de antimoniato de meglumina lipossomal (grupo I [GI], 6,5 mg Sb/kg), lipossomas vazios (GII) ou solução salina isotônica (GIII). A avaliação de parâmetros hematológicos e bioquímicos não revelou alterações significativas quatro dias após a administração. Nenhum efeito indesejável foi registrado no GIII. No entanto, reações adversas foram observadas em 67,7% dos cães de ambos os grupos que receberam formulações lipossomais. Os efeitos colaterais iniciaram momentos após a administração em "bolus" e desapareceram no decurso dos primeiros 15 minutos após o tratamento. Prostração, sialorréia e defecação foram os sinais clínicos mais frequentes, registrados em 33,3% e 41,6% dos animais dos grupos GI e GII, respectivamente. Taquipnéia, midríase, miose, vômitos e cianose também foram registrados em ambos os grupos. As reações adversas observadas neste trabalho foram atribuídas à ativação do sistema complemento pelas vesículas lipídicas em fenômeno conhecido como Pseudoalergia Relacionada à Ativação do Complemento (PARAC). A influência das características físico-químicas da formulação lipossomal no desencadeamento de PARAC é abordada.

ABSTRACT

Las fallas en el control de las respuestas inmunes fisiológicas o en la mantención de la tolerancia a lo propio, produce enfermedades en las cuales el mecanismo patogénico primario es inmunológico. Estas respuestas inmunes descontroladas se llaman mecanismo de hipersensibilidad y serán revisadas en este artículo, basándonos en las clasificaciones de Gell y Coombs y la más reciente de los mecanismos de daño mediados por células.


Failure to control physiologic immune responses or to maintain self-tolerance leads to diseases in wich the primary pathogenic mechanism is immunologic. These uncontrolled immune reactions are called hypersensitivity responses, and are reviewed in this article, based upon the Gell and Coombs and the more recent cell-mediated hypersensitivity reactions classifications.

ABSTRACT

The aetiology of fungal sinusitis is diverse and changing. Aspergillus species has been the most common cause for fungal sinusitis, especially in dry and hot regions like India. Trichosporon species as a cause for fungal sinusitis has been very rarely reported the world over. Here, we report a rare case of allergic fungal sinusitis caused by Trichosporon inkin in a 28-year-old immunocompetent woman. Bilateral nasal obstruction, nasal discharge and loss of smell were her presenting complaints. Diagnostic nasal endoscopy showed bilateral multiple polyps. Functional endoscopic sinus surgery was performed and many polyps were removed. Based on mycological and histopathological studies, the pathogen was identified as T. inkin.

ABSTRACT

Plastic bronchitis is an uncommon disorder characterized by the formation of bronchial casts. It is associated with congenital heart disease or pulmonary disease. In children with underlying conditions such as allergy or asthma, influenza can cause severe plastic bronchitis resulting in respiratory failure. A review of the literature showed nine cases of plastic bronchitis with H1N1 including this case. We report a case of a child with recurrent plastic bronchitis with eosinophilic cast associated with influenza B infection, who had recovered from plastic bronchitis associated with an influenza A (H1N1) virus infection 5 months previously. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of recurrent plastic bronchitis related to influenza viral infection. If patients with influenza virus infection manifest acute respiratory distress with total lung atelectasis, clinicians should consider plastic bronchitis and early bronchoscopy should be intervened. In addition, management for underlying disease may prevent from recurrence of plastic bronchitis.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: A prevalência das doenças alérgicas vem aumentando nas últimas décadas em todo o mundo. A prevenção primária em lactentes considerados de alto risco para atopias, com base na alimentação no primeiro ano de vida, pode constituir uma importante forma de atuação na tentativa se minimizar as manifestações da doença. Fontes dos dados: O estudo foi realizado com base em artigos relacionados à prevenção de doenças alérgicas em crianças, disponíveis nos bancos de dados PUBMED, MEDLINE, SCIELO e LILACS nos últimos 10 anos, ou anteriores a esta data, mas relevantes do ponto de vista nutricional/epidemiológico. Síntese dos dados: A determinação dos lactentes de alto risco para doenças alérgicas é um dado de alta relevância para a instituição de medidas nutricionais preventivas no primeiro ano de vida. Não há evidências de que a restrição dietética da mãe durante a gestação ou período de amamentação possa ter algum benefício na prevenção de atopia no feto/lactente. Aleitamento materno, diminuição da carga alergênica na substituição ou complementação do leite materno e a presença de determinados nutrientes na alimentação infantil são possíveis intervenções para se minimizar as alergias ao longo da infância. Conclusões: Aleitamento materno exclusivo por seis meses, a utilização de fórmulas hidrolisadas como complemento ou substituição do leite materno e a introdução de alimentos sólidos após o 4° mês de vida são apontadas como as possíveis estratégias na prevenção primária de doenças alérgicas, no que concerne à alimentação do primeiro ano de vida.


Aim: The prevalence of allergic diseases has been increasing in the past decades around the world. Primary prevention in high risk infants to develop allergies, based on some feeding aspects in the first year of life seems to be an important form of sction in order to minimize allergic symptoms. Data source: The study was conducted based on related articles about prevention of allergic diseases in infants, available on PUBMED, MEDLINE, SCIELO and LILACS data bases in the last 10 years, or previous, but relevant regarding to nutritional or epidemiological point of view. Data synthesis: The recognition of high risk infants for developing allergic diseases is the most relevant information for establishing preventive feeding measurements in the first year of life. There is no evidence that restriction diet during pregnancy or breastfeeding are effective for reducing atopy in the fetus/infant. Breastfeeding, decreasing intake of allergenic proteins and the presence of appropriate nutritional elements are possibly effective interventions for prevention of allergy during the infancy. Conclusion: Exclusive breastfeeding up to six months of life, hydrolyzed formula as complementation or substitution to breast milk and delayed solid food introduction after the fourth month are possibly some strategies for the primary prevention of allergic diseases, regarding to feeding in the first year of life.

ABSTRACT

Effect of methyl carbonate pesticide, carbonyl, was studied on macrophage functions, lymphocyte proliferation and delayed type hypersensitivity response. Sixteen adult chicken, vaccinated against Newcaslte disease, were procured and randomly divided in two experimental groups. Chicken of group I served as control, while group II birds were given carbaryl at 20 ppm (No observable effect level, NOEL) in feed for 3 months. To measure the functional activity of phagocytic cells, nitroblue tetrazolium (NBT) reduction test was performed on peripheral blood leucocytes. Concanvalin A (Con-A) and lipopolysaccharide stimulated proliferation of T and B lymphocytes was assessed using MTT dye method. At the end of experiment, the phagocytic capacities of macrophages were significantly reduced in carbaryl treated group. Lymphocyte proliferation responses to Con-A and LPS were (23 and 28%, respectively lower) in chicken fed with carbaryl. Delayed hypersensitivity reaction to tuberculin was reduced to 77% of control values indicating inhibition of cell mediated immune response. The present study suggested of immunosuppressive effect of (NOEL dose carbaryl) in chicken.

ABSTRACT

The involvement of mucosal mast cells (MMC) in the pathophysiology of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is still controversial. We aimed to re-evaluate the role of MMC in visceral hypersensitivity associated with IBS using a rat IBS model that develops the IBS symptom after a subsidence of acetic acid-induced colitis. No significant difference in the number of MMC was observed between normal rat colon and IBS rat colon. (61.7 +/-2.9/mm 2 in normal vs. 88.7 +/-13.3/mm 2 in IBS, p >0.29). However, the degranulation rate of MMC was significantly higher in IBS rat colon (49.5 +/-2.4% in normal vs. 68.8 +/-3.4% in IBS, p >0.05). Pretreatment of a mast cell stabilizer, doxantrazole (5 mg/kg, i.p.), reduced the degranulation rate of MMC and significantly attenuated visceral hypersensitivity to rectal distension in IBS rat, whereas it had no effect on the visceral sensory responses in normal rat. These results suggest that, although the number of MMC is not significantly changed in IBS rat colon, the higher degranulation rate of MMC is responsible for visceral hypersensitivity in this model IBS.

ABSTRACT

Las pruebas de laboratorio utilizadas para el estudio de las enfermedades alérgicas, constituyen una valiosa aunque poco conocida herramienta en la investigación etiológica del asma bronquial, rinitis crónica, dermatitis atópica, etc. Además de contribuir a la comprensión de lo que ocurre en estas enfermedades, nos orientan de forma importancia hacia el tratamiento más efectivo a aplicar en cada paciente. En este trabajo se describen algunas de estas técnicas alérgológicas tanto las "in vivo" como las "in vitro". Se hace hincapié en aquellas más usadas en la actualidad y en las que, por su bajo costo y fácil realización, son aplicables a nuestro medio.
